ok, i know it sounds hard, but in situations like this, i always like to take the highest road possible. the lower she gets, the higher you should go. you want to look back at this and know that you held your head high, acted respectfully and with dignity, and served yourself and your family the best way possible. use up the rest of your paid sick and vacation time to get another job, give and serve your 2 weeks graciously, wash your hands of it, celebrate your new opportunity, and don't ever look back! she will have to live with how she treated you. you have an MBA, you have experience, you are wiser and stronger because of all you've gone through. you can do this.

I am so late to this game. Heidi, having to deal w/ a boss like this can make it VERY stressful on you, not just at work but outside of work as well. The most important thing right now is to take care of yourself so don't let her get to you anymore. You should try to get this event behind you and not worry about her, instead focus on your job searching and knowing that better things will come along to you. I will keep you in my prayers. And you're always welcome to Texas!!!
